Dressed up Fridays: A crisp white shirt

 

A white shirt isn’t just a white shirt when there are elements that make it stand out impeccably. Lemaire’s cotton-poplin shirt has a flatteringly loose silhouette that we all welcome invariably, and its trendy ruffled overlays and elongated cuffs keep it contemporary chic instead of overly stuffy.

Put away your usual basic trousers and pencil skirts because this avant-garde Ellery pants in crushed velvet will make your outfit in a second. That deep wine colour is major love, and that cropped length that’s hemmed right above the ankle makes it all the more stylish.

Not forgetting that we’ve got errands to run and meetings to go for, so keep your essentials in a sizable black leather bow cut clutch from Givenchy. Its structured design and foldover top makes it a classic piece of accessory that isn’t too one-note.

While the obvious footwear choice is always a pair of nude heeled pumps, go against the grain and give your outfit an edge with these black leather lace-up sandals from Nicholas Kirkwood. Those intricate cut out details and leather sole make this a winner in our eyes.

One pair of statement earrings is all you need to complete your look. We’re loving Oscar de la Renta’s charm earrings that is a cross between eclectic and elegant, thanks to a contrasting mix of embellishments such as faux pearls with fancy boho tassels.

A lady and #BossGirl always needs a to-go scent in her clutch for just-in-case moments. What better fragrance to have than Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle in the form of a pearlised beige suedette case? The Touche de Parfum leaves jasmine and rose accords with a hint of sensual patchouli and vetiver. One swipe on your wrist using the applicator is all you need for a dose of sophistication.
